Our boys, including the irreverent ?uestlove will be backing up Jimmy Fallon when he takes over for Conan in March. Conan’s moving up to take over for Jay Leno.

Watch his video blog announcement below, just so you can see it for yourself.

Personally I think it’s a huge loss to have the Roots give up touring to stay behind the scenes like this. Hopefully they’ll have a high profile on the show, and somehow I can imagine ?uestlove laughing along with Jimmy the way Kevin Eubanks laughed along with Leno. But it’s a sad day for hip hop.
